Ingredients
Scale
- 4 bone-in pork chops (about 1-inch thick)
- 1 packet (or about 1 tablespoon) ranch seasoning mix
- 1 can (10.5 oz / 298 ml) cream of mushroom soup
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt to taste (about ½ teaspoon)
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ½ cup (120 ml) water or chicken broth
- Optional: ½ cup (50 g) shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Pat 4 bone-in pork chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides lightly with salt and pepper.
- In a medium bowl, combine ranch seasoning, cream of mushroom soup, garlic powder, onion powder, and water or chicken broth. Stir until smooth and well combined.
- Spread a thin layer of the ranch mixture on the bottom of the slow cooker insert. Place the pork chops evenly on top, then pour the remaining ranch sauce over the chops, ensuring they’re well coated. Do not stir.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 6 to 7 hours, or HIGH for 3 to 4 hours, until pork chops are tender and reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). Avoid lifting the lid during cooking.
- About 15 minutes before the end of cooking, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the chops, cover again, and let it melt.
- Let the chops rest for a few minutes before serving. The sauce will thicken slightly as it cools. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Notes
If the sauce is too thin at the end, whisk 1 teaspoon cornstarch with 1 tablespoon cold water and stir into the slow cooker. Turn to HIGH for 10-15 minutes until thickened. For thinner pork chops, reduce cooking time to avoid drying out. Rest chops before serving to lock in juices. Use a slow cooker liner for easy cleanup.
